Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer (Nashville-TN)

Oracle • Nashville, TN

8d • Onsite

About The Position

The OCI Limits Team owns the foundational platform that manages service limits, quotas, and capacity governance across Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The team enables customers and internal OCI services to scale reliably and securely through automated limit management, quota enforcement, and high-scale control plane integrations. It works closely with OCI service teams to support cloud growth, operational stability, and enterprise-grade resource governance. Its highly distributed, mission-critical systems directly affect customer onboarding, expansion, and cloud consumption experiences.

The Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer designs, implements, and optimizes distributed-system components, with a focus on scalability, resiliency, and operability. The engineer develops features and load and performance tests; uses data-plane platforms and distributed-state tools for high-volume retrieval, storage, and processing; and reviews implementations for scalability. The role builds fault-tolerant systems with redundancy, replication, and automatic failover, applies recovery-oriented principles, and implements retries, circuit breakers, and timeouts. It also supports proactive issue detection and mitigation through testing, alarms, dashboards, and telemetry; authors runbooks; participates in incident response and root-cause investigations; develops automation and infrastructure-as-code tools; applies security controls; and follows change-management, compliance, and documentation standards.

This position is onsite five days per week in Nashville, Tennessee. Relocation assistance is available; the role is not remote.
